RE: Personality is Linked to Brain Shape Variations
The lack of clarity is totally visual. I can't map the shapes shown in the traits section to the picture shown at the top of the article. Of course a 3D view where only the relevant portion is highlighted and the rest of the brain is "grayed" out would be even better. Perhaps further investigation will help to clear that up for me.
It would be nice to correlate front, left, back, top of head with traits, similar to the opening picture. Of course it would be a crude representation, but similar to the idea that vision is affected by damage to the back of the head or motor function on the right side of the body is affected by damage to the left side of the brain.
the first image is not representative of actual locations ( I don't think). Please disregard it. Its a flashy pic to get attention made by discovery channel.
Yes, I get that. I used it only as a way to explain my inability to visualize the physical portion of the brain each trait corresponds to. The little gray blobs don't help to do that in my mind.
